"My Favorite Things: A Tribute to John Coltrane" is one of my favorite songs recorded by the artist. My Favorite Things is a 1961 jazz album by John Coltrane. It was the first session recorded by Coltrane on the Atlantic Records and the first to introduce his new quartet featuring McCoy Tyner (piano), Elvin Jones (drums) and Steve Davis (bass). The album was also the first to quite clearly mark Coltrane's change from bebop to free and modal jazz, which was slowly becoming apparent in some of his previous releases.

"7053" portrays a glimpse into the rarely seen jail photo of Rosa Parks. In Montgomery, the first ten seats of every bus were reserved for white passengers, and the blacks could not sit in them, ever, even if there was no white person on the bus at the time. The back seats on the bus were for the blacks and if there are no white seats left and the whites needed a seat the blacks were forced to get up and stand. In 1955, Rosa refused to give up her seat and was arrested. 7053 was Rosa's prison number.
